The best cosmo I’ve had (pomegranate instead of cranberry, and John uses citric acid instead of lime juice, to maintain the clear pink color, a trick I totally plan to try when I get home for my Sri Lankan arrack cocktail experiments!), beautifully balanced, along with a stunning presentation of my happy hour oysters (six […]

Nice morning in Columbus. I woke up, realized I should pack before our 9:30 pick-up, so did that while eating leftover Indian food (if you stir the rice into the sauce, it won’t go dry overnight, and while it would be better heated, room temperature the next morning is okay with me) and listening to
Parallels Writing Conference in Scott Woods‘s new Streetlight Guild in Columbus, Ohio. Totally jealous of this space! Want something like it in Oak Park…or in Austin? How amazing it would be to have a dedicated writing space like this. If someone wants to donate a small house to a non-profit, CALL ME. The Streetlight Guild has a

Home again, honestly feeling kind of ill. Got quite sick on the airplane, again on the car ride home. Hopefully it’s just motion sickness and will pass, but I don’t normally get sick on planes; hope I didn’t catch some kind of con crud or plane yuck. I adore traveling, but there are definite hazards.

I brought a few extra copies of Feast with me to World Fantasy, along with the ones I was delivering to Kickstarter backers here, and bookseller Amy of Book Universe bought herself a copy of my book! We love our booksellers. Support your local indie bookstore. 🙂

Jed took me to the Manhattan Beach. We only had about 30 minutes to spare, but it was still absolutely lovely. 85 degrees, and once I got over the initial shock of the water’s cold, it was fine for wading in. If we’d had more time, I would’ve swam, as I cannot resist an ocean.

I was so cold in the snow yesterday; this is surreal. No wonder some rich people just follow the sun around the planet. #worldfantasy2019
Montréal. Taking a little time to post some trip pics… Montréal knows its ice cream. Passionfruit seems to be a common flavor, maybe because of immigration? And also, why can’t I get a mini ice cream like that around here? I would buy ice cream out a lot more often, if I had that option!

We have Feast on a book table here at Scintillation in Montreal — I brought one demo copy, and people are SUPER-EXCITED about it. I think if I can actually get this book into bookstores, we will actually sell copies. Must hustle a bit doing all the production prep! Jed has ALMOST finished my ebook; I need

Not U Chicago’s Rockefeller cathedral, but for a moment, I was very disoriented! Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal. Walking up to the Basilica. Even the ticket office at the Basilica is stunning. Pretty money, flowers, buildings, doors. I’m not religious (relaxed agnostic), but the moment when I walked into the Notre Dame Basilica of
